What a wonderful lesson 😊! Your clarification is very useful for some of the confusing points in English that I sometimes make mistakes in using them, especially in speaking 🗣️, but this lesson may help me overcome them. Teacher Wes thank you so much indeed 🙏!

Thank you, Sir, for sharing a valuable lesson. I’ve just started watching while eating breakfast

Thank you for the lesson. I think I always told you, repetition is the key to success. I never said that repetition is not neccessary.

[SSOL]

Although I'm in intermediate level, I often watch your videos(i.e. advanced vocabulary lessons). It's a good way to build up my vocabulary 😁

Hey thanks for these lessons, you explain them very well!

[megkeiserramirez]

[thomaswalker]

Great 👍 looks like there're two different teachers in this video

[Khr-explorer]

Given the fact that, it is one of the greatest videos on YouTube someone ever worked on and this distinction is always made by wes.. quite clueless to gather words to say thank you and you fixed many of my grammar errors as well.
If the dictionary provides a word that could beat thank you I would write here because only thanks is not enough..
Hats off to you..make more videos like this to fix our grammar and fundamentals as well..hats off to you. love from Pakistan ❤❤❤

[elhoplita]

That peak on the use of take off just in the WWII years 😂

[_zeynepay]

Hi sir, can you make a series of videos that make us learn new vocabularies everyday. By this way we can learn new words consistently? Thanks.

Snuff out-extinguish

Firefighters extinguish fire
Firefighters snuff out fire

Is that right?

[msinbalony]

Don't say his name
Don't tell me his name
The difference between the two sentences highlights the difference between the two verbs.

There's also "to tell" in the sense of figuring out, or understanding..
I can't tell who's the older brother
Can you tell the time?

[carmenvega]

Dear Wes in spanish we say "he is going to the university to study" in english you omit the article the " he is going to univetsity to study" can you elaborate on why this is done.
